The capital is a very interesting place.

In the past, under the control of the emperor, it was difficult for outside news to come in, and it has always been an atmosphere of singing and dancing, and there has not changed much.

And this time, the news of the emperor's death was still very controlled, and the court completed the funeral in a very short time without the outside world getting the news.

But even in this kind of situation, where you can't get in or out, there is an earth-shattering news coming from Jinling City, and it spreads all over the capital overnight, making it known all over the city!

Jinling City was attacked by the demon clan, and King Xian guarded the city gate alone and killed the two demon kings of the demon clan.

The legendary Demon King!

In the consciousness of the people in the capital, the demon king only exists in the words of the elders to scare children, such as "If you are disobedient, the demon king will arrest you" and the like.

But now, the demon king really appeared in the palace newspaper, and spread throughout the capital at a very fast speed.

People have to believe it, the demon king...... It's real!

The only thing that can make people doubt the authenticity of the report is the information that King Xian killed the two demon kings, which is even more shocking than the fact that the demon king himself is real.

That virtuous king, who is "famous" in the capital, actually has the ability to kill two demon kings?

Dude, are you sure you wrote it right?

If people were asked to choose one of the two news of the real existence of the demon king and the killing of the demon king by the virtuous king was fake, everyone would choose the latter without hesitation.

As long as you are a local in the capital, without exception, you will have strong doubts about this.

According to the normal development of the situation, after the news comes out, the capital will be in a state of crowding, and maybe someone will run to the palace to denounce the virtuous king for taking the credit of others.

But things didn't go that way.

Because Qi Jiguang, the general of Jinling Town, holding an umbrella for all people, entered the capital in full view of everyone.

Even the people of the capital who are closed to news know who Qi Jiguang is.

A great hero recognized by the whole country and nation!

Even Guo Bujing, who is known as a "giant hero" by the world, is inferior to him in front of him, and more appropriately, Guo Bujing admires him very much.

is such a person, he holds the Wanmin umbrella and represents the people of Jinling City to enter Beijing to thank him.

It is impossible to imitate the umbrella of the people, because it is made by the masters of Buddhism and Taoism to take the lights of ten thousand homes, and the so-called lights of ten thousand homes are the most sincere gratitude in the hearts of the people.

The light is the fire of the heart.

This thing is the only treasure that can make the demons have nothing to hide since the great changes in the world, if there are demons entering the city, the people's umbrella will automatically open, and the light of the heart fire will shine on the whole city.

As soon as he entered Beijing, Wanmin Umbrella reacted, took out of Qi Jiguang's hand, and flew out slowly, Qi Jiguang did not dare to slack off, and led part of the Qi family army to follow.

Many onlookers followed them from afar in order to see the excitement.

……

The weather is good today, and the side stove is being played in the palace.

Lu Xiaofeng was eating hot pot and singing, and suddenly found that it was dark, and when he looked up, he saw an umbrella floating on the top of his head, still glowing......

The chopsticks slipped from his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little glazed, "What is this?" ”

As a former Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, Li Gexiao has seen Wanmin umbrella, and when he was still a hundred households, he saw the scene of Wanmin kneeling to send his parents to the official in the south.

It's a pity that the civil official was killed by a traitor, a good official with an umbrella for all the people, did not die at the hands of demons, but at the hands of his own family.

This incident had a great impact on Lige Xiao at that time, and he didn't even know for a while whether the demons were evil or people were more evil.

"This is the Wanmin umbrella, made of thousands of lights, and it can be said to be the most valuable treasure in the world......"

Leaving the song and laughing, he told the origin of the Wanmin umbrella.

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it, so it's the Wanmin Umbrella."

Lu Xiaofeng circled around the Wanmin umbrella in mid-air, almost making Chu Yang's head dizzy, but fortunately, at this time, the Wanmin umbrella slowly closed and fell into Chu Yang's arms.

Lu Xiaofeng and Li Gexiao looked at Chu Yang at the same time.

"Lord Wang, this is yours?" Li Gexiao said in surprise: "Why have I never seen it?" ”

"Coincidentally, I haven't seen it either." Chu Yang picked up the Wanmin umbrella and looked at it, and then said, "How do I know whose it is." ”

Lu Xiaofeng was thoughtful and showed a mysterious smile, "I guess there is a distinguished guest coming to the door today." ”

"Who is it?" Lige Xiao asked curiously.

Lu Xiaofeng was tricky and didn't tell him.

Call~

A gust of wind blew through the yard.

"I'm tired like a dead dog after I'm busy for you, but you guys are here to eat meat, do you have my share?"

The ghostly figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Xiaofeng, and his slender fingers grabbed the meat in his bowl.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were quick, and he used chopsticks to use his unique stunt to pinching the hand of the "meat thief".

"Monkey, I don't know if you have to wash your hands before eating, you really think of yourself as a monkey?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Sikong Xingxing with disgust.

The dusty Sikong Xingxing seemed to be angry, broke free from the chopsticks with skill, and then reached out again to find the meat in Lu Xiaofeng's bowl.

The two of them just got into a fight.

The meat in the bowl swayed like a fishing boat on the sea, and it didn't last long before it flew out.

Pingbai picked up a piece of fragrant meat, and her eyes narrowed when she was smiling, and teased: "The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits." ”

Chu Yang also smiled and said: "For you, it is true that you have a distinguished guest and can earn a mouthful of meat to eat." ”

"He's a fart guest!" Lu Xiaofeng said with a gloomy face: "How can any guests come in and grab meat to eat?" ”

Chu Yang began to be curious, "So there is someone else in the distinguished guest?" ”

Sikong Xingxing's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly spoke: "Lord Wang, I know that your guest is ......"

Before he had finished speaking, the crowd heard the old butler's shout.

"Lord Wang, come out and take a look, there are a lot of people outside, I'm afraid they didn't come to trouble us, alas, what are you doing these days?"

The old housekeeper was angry and anxious, for fear that the people outside the door would storm the palace, and there were only a few useless servants in the huge palace, and there was not even a guard, so something was going to happen.

Chu Yang frowned slightly, got up and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Li Gexiao and Lu Xiaofeng put down the dishes and chopsticks and followed behind Chu Yang, the expressions of the two were different, Lu Xiaofeng smiled at the corners of his eyes, and seemed to feel that something good had happened.

Lige smiled with a serious face.

Before he got close to the gate, Chu Yang heard the sound of boiling outside, and he turned his head to the old butler and said, "Open the door, I'll see what's going on." ”

The old housekeeper ordered the porter to open the door, and the porter pushed the door tremblingly, and with a squeak, the gate of the palace slowly opened.

There was a bloody breath in his face, and even more fierce was the battlefield aura, like the ice wind blowing on his face.

Appearing in front of Chu Yang was a big man in armor, his face was weathered, his lips were a little chapped, his armor was full of holes, but his eyes were bright.

"The last general, Qi Jiguang, for the people of Jinling City, thank the prince for saving his life!"

Chu Yang finally met Qi Jiguang, a big hero who was passed on by word of mouth.

The other party's figure is thinner than expected, but he can support that armor, and the momentum of the whole person is like a fierce tiger staring at you coldly.

The eyes are sharp, but not mixed with other emotions, and they are very clean.

If ordinary people looked at each other like this, it is estimated that their hearts would have begun to tremble a long time ago.

"General Qi, there are many people outside, please lead your subordinates into the mansion for a while." Chu Yang smiled and bowed to welcome Qi Jiguang and the Qi family army into the palace.

"The last general commands."

Qi Jiguang bowed and said, leading the soldiers behind him into the palace in an orderly manner.

The gate of the palace was soon closed again, and the people who watched the excitement were still reluctant to leave, and the chatter not only did not disappear, but intensified.

"General Qi has entered the palace, and the Wanmin umbrella is really the king's!"

"God, I can't see the world clearly......"

"Is the news that King Xian killed the two-headed demon king true?!"

"How old is he this year, even Zhuge Shenhou doesn't have such merits! Isn't he the first person in the world in martial arts! ”

"King Xian's martial arts talent is so high, why should he be decadent for so many years? I took some infamy for nothing! ”

"You don't know that, do you? I have a brother who works as an errand in the palace, and I heard a secret story that King Hyun was murdered by other princes when he was a child......"

There are endless rumors, some true, some false, and the people don't care, they just have a conversation after dinner.

One thing is certain, though.

From now on, the unbearable past of King Xian will be mentioned less and less frequently, but it will not be forgotten by people, but will become a deeper "little secret".

When they reach the age of teasing their grandson, everyone will smile and say to their grandson: "Do you know what our emperor was like when he was young? ”

……

Chu Yang led the Qi family army to sit down in the courtyard, looking at them in the dust, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and he was respectful, this is what a Ming soldier should look like, not a soldier who can only exploit the people.

"You've just come down from the battlefield? What is the situation in the South? After I'm gone, will the demon clan come to attack the city? ”

Chu Yang asked three questions in one breath, and even Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Chu Yang's sincere gaze, Qi Jiguang's tone and eyes became serious, "Don't worry, the situation in the south is quite stable, since the prince killed the two demon kings, the demon clan has never appeared near Wanglong City again." ”

"I'm ashamed to say that the injuries on our bodies are the result of a fight with our own family."

Chu Yang seemed to have expected this kind of thing a long time ago, and sighed: "How many city guards in the south have rebelled? ”

Qi Jiguang replied: "About seventy percent, they are all on their own hills, and they feel that the court is too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no spare strength to eliminate them. ”

Chu Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "General Qi should not have any scruples, be bold and say it, how many percent is it?" ”

Qi Jiguang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Ninety!" ”

Li Gexiao and Lu Xiaofeng gasped one after another, what is the concept of ninety percent, almost all the generals in the south have chosen to rebel.

"It's pretty much what I thought."

Chu Yang didn't panic too much, because this world was strictly two worlds that were completely different from the Ming Dynasty in history.

Due to the threat of the demon clan, the power in the hands of the generals is very large, and they are the number one in the real sense, just like Qi Jiguang's position in Jinling City is unshakable.

The people of the city all counted on the general and his soldiers to survive in the troubled times, and the imperial court was too far away for the local people to have no practical significance.

It is almost a zero-cost thing for a military general to rebel, but there has never been a need for this, after all, the 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital are placed there.

Now, the actions of the demon clan have spread throughout the south, and these generals are sure that the imperial court is busy fighting against the demon clan, and there is no extra force to eliminate them.

Even most people feel that Da Ming will definitely lose, and they are privately studying what type of demon will become the most cost-effective in the future.

So rebellion became a matter of course.

This is also why Chu Yang wanted to deal with the south in the first place, instead of rushing to the aid of the Wanli Xuan Ice City at the border of the north.

The emperor had only been buried for a few days, and they couldn't wait.

Chu Yang asked, "Jinling City is already the target of everyone at this moment, right?" ”

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "In just a few days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered under the city, but they were all beaten back by the Qi family's army, and now they can be regarded as resting for a while." ”

After saying this, the soldiers behind Qi Jiguang all puffed up their chests proudly.

"The Qi family army really lives up to its reputation, and it deserves to be the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty." Chu Yang first praised it, and then asked, "But since the situation is urgent, why did General Qi choose to enter Beijing at this time?" ”

Qi Jiguang hugged his fists and said: "In addition to sending the Wanmin umbrella to the prince, the last general is also here to escort a batch of newly developed ordnance to support the north. ”

"The demon clan is going north, and the situation in the north will soon be the same as in the south, fighting with the demon clan, and with the armament, you can get twice the result with half the effort."

Chu Yang couldn't help but be moved.

A few days ago, when discussing the decision in the Taihe Palace, Sheng Yayu mentioned the armament of the Qi family's army, thinking that it was a weapon to help the border pass defend the city, but this proposal was still denied.

Because from the very beginning, Chu Yang's goal was not only to reorganize the mountains and rivers in the south, but also to fight farther away, and the combat capability of the Qi family army could not be weakened in the slightest.

Now Qi Jiguang personally escorted the ordnance into Beijing in order to aid the north, even at the cost of weakening the combat capability of his own troops.

The heart of serving the country and the people can be seen.

However, when he came, he gave Chu Yang a new idea.

Chu Yang asked: "The new firearms of the Qi family army are famous all over the world, I want to ask General Qi, is your new armament still a firearm?" ”

Speaking of the new firearms, Qi Jiguang replied excitedly: "Back to the prince, yes, the craftsmen and formation masters of the firearms battalion stayed up all night for the new firearms, and forgot to sleep and eat, just to let the human race have an advantage in the war with the demon clan." ”

"The biggest threat to the army is often not the Great Demon or the Demon King, but millions of demon beasts, and even more massive beasts!"

"Once they rush into battle, even if the soldiers take advantage of the power of the battle formation, the final result is still heavy losses."

"So before the two sides come into contact, they need to use firearms to reduce the number of demon beasts and beasts, so that they can mess up and lose their numerical advantage, it is often difficult for the big demons to break through the battle formation, and it is a matter of time before the demon clan loses the war."

Use firepower to suppress to solve the advantage of the sea of beasts, those beasts under the wisdom do not know how to cooperate, and will only rely on instinct to attack, and the results can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang smiled mysteriously.

"General Qi, I also know a little about firearms, why don't we communicate." (End of chapter)
